Term Name: Fc receptor-mediated immune complex endocytosis
Synonyms: antigen-antibody immune complex uptake via Fc receptor, Fc receptor-mediated immune complex internalization, Ig-complexed antigen endocytosis via Fc receptor
Definition: An endocytosis process mediated by the Fc receptor for the purpose of delivery of antigen-bound immunoglobulin to an intracellular compartment where the antigen can be processed and loaded onto MHC molecules. This process selectively targets antigens for presentation by MHC class II or cross-presentation by MHC class I.
